This historic train in Matsuyama (Shikoku) had to be shifted to the neighbouring track in order to make room for the arriving streetcar.
Obviously, it was easier to move by muscle power than to attach the (also historic locomative) and let it leave under its own power.
I saw the same train in action though, a bit later.

The "valley of the moon" (that's what "valle de la luna" means) is situated in the Atacama desert, not too far from San Pedro de Atacama.
Indeed, some parts of the valley look as though there was no life on Earth...
Oh, and - of course - there are more "valles de la luna" in other Spanish speaking parts of the world (Bolivia, Argentina...), but this is the most famous one. ...
